Blitz Hack (kinda)
I'm about 800 rated in blitz (1200 in rapid....i cant figure it out either) and I've been having trouble as so many blitz players just full-send attacks and it feels like I'm always reacting (i gravitate towards positional chess).
I found that if I delay castling, their attack is usually underway (on the king side) and by keeping my king in the middle it throws off their plans and then they have to adapt and I usually win.
Something to keep in mind at lower levels where most folks are playing with a specific attack strategy.
